How to configure networking from the Service Console command line
How can I get networking back up for my ESX Server host when I have access only to the service console?
- Ensure the network adapter you want to use is currently connected
[root@server root]# esxcfg-nics –l
Name PCI Driver Link Speed Duplex Description
vmnic0 06:00.00 tg3 Up 1000Mbps Full Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic1 07:00.00 tg3 Up 1000Mbps Full Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet
Up indicates that the network adapter is available and functioning.
- List the current virtual switches
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –l
Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports Uplinks
vSwitch0 32 3 32 vmnic0
PortGroup Name Internal ID VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks
VM Network portgroup2 0 0 vmnic0
In the above example, there exists a virtual machine network named "VM Network" and no Service Console portgroup. For illustration, we will create a new virtual switch and place the service console portgroup on it. - Create a new virtual switch:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –a vSwitch1 - Create the Service Console portgroup on this new virtual switch:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –A “Service Console” vSwitch1
Because there is a space in the name we chose (Service Console), we must enclose it in quotation marks. - Uplink vmnic1 to the new virtual switch:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –L vmnic1 vSwitch1 - If you need to assign a VLAN, use the command:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch -v <VLAN> -p “Service Console” vSwitch0
where <VLANID> is the VLAN number. A zero here specifies no VLAN. - Verify the new virtual switch configuration:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –l
Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports Uplinks
vSwitch0 32 3 32 vmnic0
PortGroup Name Internal ID VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks
Service Console portgroup5 0 1 vmnic0
Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports Uplinks
vSwitch1 64 1 64 vmnic1
PortGroup Name Internal ID VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks
Service Console portgroup14 0 1 vmnic1 - Create the vswif (Service Console) interface. For example:
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswif –a vswif0 –i 192.168.1.10 –n 255.255.255.0 –p “Service Console”
[‘Vnic’ warning] Generated New Mac address, 00:50:xx:xx:xx:xx for vswif0
Nothing to flush. - Verify the configuration:
[root@esx]# esxcfg-vswif –l
Name Port Group IP Address Netmask Broadcast Enabled DHCP
vswif0 Service Console 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255 true false
